YouTube Officially Shuts Down Venezuelan President's Account .. What’s the Story?

In a surprising move that raised widespread questions, the "YouTube" platform owned by "Google" has banned the official account of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, making access to the channel impossible, and a message appears when opening it stating that the account "has been banned for violating YouTube's terms of use".

According to the Russian news agency "Novosti", Maduro's channel has completely disappeared from search results on "YouTube", and it cannot be accessed even via direct link, as users see a message indicating that the account has been suspended due to policy violations.

The channel used to broadcast daily and post recordings of government and presidential activities and events, and it witnessed wide interaction, as its subscriber count exceeded 230,000, making its ban a significant media event in Venezuela and beyond.

As of the time of publishing this news, no official comment has been issued by the authorities in Caracas regarding the decision or its reasons, which has increased the ambiguity surrounding the issue, especially amid the tense relations between Venezuela and some Western platforms.

Observers speculate that the move may have a political nature or relate to the content broadcasted by the channel, especially given the strict restrictions imposed by the platform on certain types of content classified as against its policies.
